Aquaculture is widely considered to have the potential to reduce poverty and enhance food security. Historically, aquaculture in Bangladesh was a low-intensity, semi-subsistence activity, and most development interventions promoted small-scale forms of aquaculture in the expectation that adoption of improved management practices by low-income households will increase production of fish for sale and home consumption, thereby reducing poverty and food insecurity.
... 更多显示 This study addresses five research questions about the nature of aquaculture development in Bangladesh. The questions are designed to test central narratives from the literature on aquaculture, poverty, and food security, and to broaden the scope of debate beyond them. The questions are as follows: to what extent do the resource-poor participate in aquaculture?; what is the relationship between participation in aquaculture and landownership and access?; what is the nature and extent of employment associated with different types of aquaculture?; how does aquaculture affect local food security?; and what are the effects of aquaculture development on well-being? An integrated quantitative-qualitative survey was conducted in six communities with contrasting patterns of aquaculture development. Data was collected from a representative cross section of village residents to gain insights into the impacts of aquaculture development at the local level, using a structured household survey (578 respondents) and in-depth interviews (165 informants). This approach generated many findings that contradict or add nuance to conventional understandings of aquaculture development. The most important of these are summarized in terms of poverty, landownership and tenure, employment, food security, well-being, and policy implications. It was concluded that small- and medium-producer-dominated forms of commercial aquaculture were the most significant engines for localized economic growth.

The Government of Maldives (GoM) received support from the World Bank-managed Climate Change Trust Fund (CCTF) to deal with adaptation and mitigation of climate change.
... 更多显示 A multi-donor Maldives CCTF was established in December 2009 with the aim to build a climate resilient economy and society in Maldives through adaptation to climate change as well as mitigation for a low carbon development path. The total resources pledged by the European Union and the Government of Australia were US$10.3 million. Three projects that have been implemented under the CCTF so far include: (i) Wetlands Conservation and Coral Reef Monitoring for Adaptation to Climate Change project (WCCM) (P128278); (ii) Clean Energy for Climate Mitigation project (CECM) (P128268); and (iii) AASWM pilot project (P130163). All the three projects are planned to end on November 30, 2014. The EU expressed its intention to support the second phase with a supplemental contribution of EUR 3.85 million. With support from CCTF second phase (CCTF- II), GoM proposes a project named Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) Project in the southernmost atolls (Addu/Seenu and Gnaiviyani) to undertake an integrate approach to respond to climate risks while ensuring environmental sustainability in a select geographical area. It is envisaged that this comprehensive approach of combining natural resources management and SWM may create synergy and establish a self-sustained system. The CCA Project supports initiatives to strengthen knowledge and leadership in the government, build adaptive capacity through pilot programmes, develop low-carbon options and improve policy and institutional capacities in both public and private sectors related to climate change adaptation and mitigation with a focus on flood management, wetland management, biodiversity conservation and integrated solid waste management.

The Ministry of Forests, Fisheries and Sustainable Development (MFFSD) with fiduciary assistance from Protected Areas Conservation Trust (PACT) as the National Implementing Entity (NIE) and the World Bank as Multilateral Implementing Entity (MIE), proposes to implement the Marine Conservation and Climate Change Adaptation Project (MCCAP) in the coastal areas of Belize.
... 更多显示 The objective of the proposed MCCAP is to implement priority ecosystem-based marine conservation and climate adaptation measures to strengthen the climate resilience of the Belize Barrier Reef System and its productive marine resources. Given the role of the World Bank as the MIE and the potential impact of the project on Belizes marine environment, the application of relevant safeguard policies is required during the implementation of the project especially in relation to Natural Habitats. This Environmental Management Framework (EMF) allows PACT and the MFFSD to guide, steer, advise, monitor and supervise key environmental considerations related to the MCCAP. The EMF aims at covering all issues of importance for different types of eligible sub-projects during all stages of the project cycle. Consequently, as need be, the EMF will be revised and adjusted to cover any lessons learnt or emerging aspects during project implementation; by its nature, it is meant to be a living document subject to continuous improvement. All changes in the EMF are subject to approval by the World Bank. The EMF is intended to be used by PACT, MFFSD and the Fisheries Department and all concerned with, and in any way an active participant within, the MCCAP in Belize. The preparation of the EMF included engagement with key stakeholders. The report of the consultation with stakeholders is included at Annex 1. All other players directly involved in the execution of any subprojects within the MCCAP will be made aware of the key EMF contents before embarking on any implementation activity. The EMF must be used in all subprojects that PACT and MFFSD undertake under the MCCAP in order to improve their environmental management during the project cycle.

The objective of the Additional Financing to Livestock Competitiveness and Food Safety Project for Vietnam is: to improve the competitiveness of household-based livestock producers by addressing production, food safety and environmental risks in livestock product supply chains in the selected provinces. Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: in general the excavation from construction will generate solid waste or spoil; during the rehabilitation and upgrade activities, there will be also solid waste with different components like bricks, glass, wood, etc.
... 更多显示 The construction camps will generate domestic solid waste; discharge or leakage of grease during the construction process due to the maintenance of the equipment or by accident; discharge of wastewater from the construction camp, without treatment, on the soil; during construction implementation, workers are hard to avoid the risks related to health and safety. In particular, the following activities should be considered: excavations; working with heavy equipment; working in confined spaces; working on and along traffic roads; heavy lifting; storage, handling and use of dangerous substances and wastes; working under noisy conditions; topsoil should be removed and stored in separate piles and reinstated after refilling of trenches, to enable natural re-vegetation; and minimize the area of excavation and vegetation clearance.
